Hello to all and happy spring finally.
I got out for two hunts on Sunday, two different schoolyards.
2.5 hours in the morning and the ground was pretty frozen still (ice) down after three inches or so. It was tough digging but it was great to be out. I didn't find a ton of stuff but did manage a 14kt diamond solitare stud earring (more ice) in the woodchips near the swings. It's about 2.5mm across, about 1/3 ct I guess. Woohoo, what a start to the season. I also found a Canadian $1 looney and a $1.00 bill laying in the woodchips under the play stucture.
In the late afternoon, I went to a different school close to me that always produces and it did again. 2 hours of hunting and a ton of coins. Searched only in the grassy open play areas. My only keeper there was a nice sterling 925 cross. I hit a nice vane of quarters which really boosted the clad total for the day. 143 coins total for the day and $12.81 counting the $1 bill. I also found a small assortment of junk jewelry including a pretty genstone ring. It was great to finally get out!!
Thanks for reading. Happy hunting to you all. Here's some pics of the days finds.
Smiles!
